Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomical terms provided in the question. Each term refers to a specific region of the body. For example, 'Frontal' refers to the forehead region, 'Temporal' refers to the sides of the head near the temples, 'Occipital' refers to the back of the head, and 'Cervical' refers to the neck region.
Step 2: Focus on the question, which asks for the anatomical term that refers to the region at the back of the neck. This requires identifying the term that corresponds to the neck area.
Step 3: Recall that the term 'Cervical' is specifically used in anatomy to describe structures related to the neck, including the cervical vertebrae and cervical region.
Step 4: Compare 'Cervical' with the other options provided ('Frontal,' 'Temporal,' and 'Occipital') to confirm that none of these terms refer to the neck region. 'Occipital,' for instance, refers to the back of the head, not the neck.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the region at the back of the neck is 'Cervical,' as it directly corresponds to the neck area in anatomical terminology.
